Damascus Jewish cemetery restoration including rabbi grave
A Syrian-American organization dedicated to heritage sites has begun restoring the historic Jewish cemetery in Damascus, located in the Tabbala neighborhood on an area of nearly 250,000 square meters near Damascus International Airport. The work involves cleaning old tombstones and rehabilitating collapsed graves, including those of prominent Syrian Jewish figures such as Chief Rabbi Nassim Isaac Andbo, who accompanied the Israeli spy Eli Cohen before his execution, and a renowned Jewish woman named Racheel Qamou Zaga. The initiative aims to revive Jewish heritage in Syria and preserve this legacy for future generations.
